A Vacancy at The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.


We are delighted to offer an opportunity for an enthusiastic and well-motivated individual to join our team as a Locum Consultant in Paediatric Intensive Care and Critical Care Transport at the Great North Children’s Hospital (GNCH). This will be based at the Great North Children’s Hospital, Royal Victoria infirmary site and at North East and Cumbria Transport And Retrieval (NECTAR) base, Campus for Ageing and Vitality Site, both in Newcastle upon Tyne.

GNCH Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is the lead centre for paediatric critical care for the Northern Region. We admit children referred for intensive care from an area extending from the West Coast of Cumbria, north through Northumberland to the Scottish Borders, and extending southwards to North Yorkshire. There are approximately 3500 intensive care bed days per year. Day to day care of children in the PICU is managed and led by the team of PICU consultants in consultation with subspecialties as appropriate. Paediatric cardiothoracic services are currently based at the Freeman Hospital with a separate PICU and ECMO beds based there with a separate clinical team. Co-location on the RVI site will be made a priority, enabling best possible care for children.

Please read attached Job Description and Person Specification.

This purpose of this joint consultant post is twofold.

Working in a team of paediatric intensivists, the successful candidate will play an important role in the day-to-day running and wider development of a state-of-the-art PICU that operates as the paediatric critical care hub for the North East and North Cumbria region. The Great North Children’s Hospital also hosts a wide range of tertiary sub-specialities and a supra-regional immunodeficiency bone marrow transplant service that are all regular users of the PICU. Clinical duties will include consultant of the week and on call responsibilities.

As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.
